Not to mention the transaction between Yue Lianshuang and Zhuge Yan.
The next day, two Yulinshan sent two of Yang Cong's men to the door.
The two of them had been tortured by Yue Lianshuang, and their injuries had not yet healed. Now that they saw Shen Qingyun again, they were even more frightened to death.
"Shi, Shizi..."
"Oh, why are you sitting on the ground? It's so cold on the ground..." Shen Qingyun waved, "Old Qi, help them up."
Zhong Qi stepped forward after hearing the words, but the two of them shrank into the corner in even more fear.
Shen Qingyun smiled slightly when he saw this, and said calmly: "Either let him pull you up, or he will break your legs. You choose."
The two were shocked when they heard this. They could only tremble slightly and stood up holding Zhong Qi's hand.
"Zhou Bing is dead, who did it?"
The two hesitated for a moment and replied: "Yes, it's a villain."
"No, no, how could it be you?" Shen Qingyun said with a smile: "You two are just Yang Cong's guards. You have never even entered the gate of Zhou's mansion. How can you kill Zhou Bing?"
"Reporting to the prince, the prince ordered that the two of us climbed over the courtyard wall to enter the Zhou Mansion. We only waited for the prince's order to kill people."
"I told you, neither of you have ever entered the Zhou Mansion, and it was not you who killed Zhou Bing." Shen Qingyun looked cold and his tone was slightly cold.
The two looked at each other. Although they didn't understand, they still followed Shen Qingyun's words and responded, "Yes, yes, the prince is right. The villain was only waiting for my young master to come out at the door, and did not enter the Zhou Mansion."
"That's right, how can you lie?" Shen Qingyun smiled with satisfaction, "The murderer was Yang Cong, remember?"
The two were shocked when they heard this and did not dare to answer.
Shen Qingyun smiled when he saw this, "By the way, where is the weapon Yang Cong used to kill Zhou Bing?"
"Here." Zhong Qi took out the dagger that Yulinshan had just given him. There were still some traces of blood on it.
Shen Qingyun took the dagger and ordered: "Go and ask your cousin to come out."
Zhong Qi nodded, and not long after, Yang Cong, who had been beaten into a human shape, was carried out.
The two of them were shocked when they saw this, "Young Master?"
Shen Qingyun slowly came to Yang Cong with the dagger and placed the dagger in his palm.
"Yang Cong killed Zhou Bing, the son of the Zhou family, and fled in fear of the crime. Unexpectedly, the snowy road was difficult to travel, and he fell down the cliff, which is why he fell like this."
After saying that, Shen Qingyun raised his head and looked at the two of them, "Do you hear me clearly?"
The two people's eyes were filled with fear and confusion. For a moment, they couldn't understand what Shen Qingyun meant.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "Now the government is looking for the murderer of Zhou Bing. Now you, Master, can no longer speak. If I hand you over to the government, then the only thing waiting for you will be the crime of murder.
However, I am a kind-hearted person, and I like to draw my sword to help when there is injustice on the road. As long as you blame Yang Cong for this crime, I will ensure that you are safe. "
"We are servants of the Yang family. If something happens to the young master, we will not end up well." The two of them were not stupid and expressed their concerns.
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "Yang Cong killed someone himself. The government punishes the crime according to the law. Even if the head of the Yang family comes, he cannot deny it. Even if he wants to punish you, it is nothing more than a crime of unfavorable protection. At most, he will be punished. Just a quick beat.
I'll give each of you another five hundred taels. I believe you are strong enough to withstand it. "
The two of them were obviously moved after hearing this.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyun said again: "If not, then we will have to hand you two over to the government. Not only will we not have the five hundred taels, but we will also be facing a dead end. It's up to you two to decide what to do." "
If you don't do what Shen Qingyun says, you will die.
If you listen to Shen Qingyun's words, not only will you not necessarily die, but you will also get money. It doesn't seem to be a difficult choice.
only...
The two of them looked at Yang Cong almost at the same time.
Shen Qingyun saw this and smiled and said: "Don't worry, your young master fell from the cliff and all his bones and muscles were broken, even his jaw. He can no longer speak or open his mouth now."
The two looked at each other after hearing this, bowed and said, "I will obey the prince's orders in everything."
"Okay, haha..." Shen Qingyun laughed loudly, "Take your young master back."
"yes."
The two men stepped forward and lifted Yang Cong one after another.
"What should I say? You don't need me to teach you, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the villain knows."
Watching the two people leave with Yang Cong, Zhong Qi frowned and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, can these two people be trusted?"
"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. If they want to survive, they can only listen to me."
"But Your Majesty, if they tell Madam about this, I'm afraid..."
"So what?" Shen Qingyun sneered, "Not to mention whether they are so loyal to the Yang family, whether they have the courage to seek death, even if they do, it doesn't matter, I will not give them a chance to talk more. "
On the other side, Song Ying couldn't find Yang Cong for several days, and she was very anxious. In addition, she was already pregnant, which made her mood even more irritable, and she almost didn't get a good night's sleep.
"Madam, madam, my cousin has been found." A servant hurriedly came to report.
"Found it?" Song Ying stood up suddenly, "Where is my cousin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two people carrying Yang Cong and walking in quickly. As they walked, they cried: "Ms. Cousin, Master, he, Master..."
When Song Ying saw Yang Cong's appearance, she was also shocked and stepped forward quickly.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
"Uh... uh..." Yang Cong's eyes bulged and he sobbed, as if he wanted to say something.
Seeing Yang Cong's difficulty, Song Ying turned around and asked, "What's going on? How could my cousin become like this?"
The two of them replied: "Report to Miss Cousin, the young master fell from the cliff, and then he became like this."
"Falled off the cliff?" Song Ying was stunned, but she had some doubts in her heart.
Why did Yang Cong run outside the city?
Could it be that, as the government office said, he was going to abscond in fear of crime?
But that's not right. Why are you running away? Even if there is evidence that you committed murder, if you stay in Uncle Sinan's Mansion, I can still help you, and it is more likely that you will mediate with the government...
Before Song Ying could think more, a servant stumbled in.
"Madam, madam, Magistrate Zhu is here."
"What?" Song Ying was startled and wanted to tell Yang Cong to hide first. When she looked up, she saw that Magistrate Zhu had barged in.
"Bold, this is Uncle Sinan's Mansion, how dare you break in?" Song Ying stood in front of Magistrate Zhu with her belly puffed out.
County Magistrate Zhu bowed slightly and said: "I heard that Young Master Yang Cong has returned to the uncle's house, so I came here to ask Young Master Yang to go to the government office for questioning. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
"Presumptuous." Song Ying shouted sternly: "Even if you are the county magistrate of a city and force your way into my uncle's house, my uncle will not be able to spare you."
"Madam, don't worry, I will apologize to my uncle." Magistrate Zhu said expressionlessly, "But now, madam, please give way and let me take Young Master Yang back to the Yamen."
"My cousin has become like this. Even if you take him away, what else can you ask?"
Magistrate Zhu heard this and looked at Yang Cong's two men.
"You two are Mr. Yang's personal bodyguards?"
The two naturally responded: "Yes."
Magistrate Zhu nodded slightly and loudly ordered his officers: "Take all the people who come, take them away."
"yes."
Seeing several officials coming forward, Song Ying was shocked and quickly stopped: "You..."
"Madam is pregnant with Liujia, please don't come near me. If you bump into Madam's noble body, I will be the one to blame."
When Song Ying heard this, she stiffened and did not dare to step forward. She could only watch as Magistrate Zhu took the person away.
County Magistrate Zhu bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Madam, please forgive me. I will definitely come to my door in person afterwards to apologize to my wife and uncle."
Seeing everyone leaving, Song Ying softened and collapsed on the ground, muttering in her mouth: "It's over, it's over..."
"Auntie, why are you sitting on the ground? Wouldn't it be bad if you hurt the fetus in your belly?"
Shen Qingyun's casual voice reached Song Ying's ears, and Song Ying suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun approached slowly, frowned and shouted to the servants on the side: "Are you all dead? Why don't you help the lady up?"
The maid came back to her senses after hearing this and quickly stepped forward to help Song Ying.
Song Ying stood up and rushed towards Shen Qingyun with bared teeth and claws.
"It's you, it must be you..." Song Ying tore Shen Qingyun's clothes, "It was you who harmed my cousin."
"Harmful?" Shen Qingyun sneered, "Don't you think it's ridiculous for my aunt to say such things?"
Song Ying stiffened and her tearing hands stopped.
"Don't you know what Yang Cong did?"
Shen Qingyun opened Song Ying's hand and said coldly: "Or do you think my aunt really treats me as an idiot and knows nothing about everything?"
Song Ying's expression froze, she lowered her head and did not dare to answer.
Shen Qingyun took Song Ying's arm and helped her sit down.
"Seeing as Yang Cong is my aunt's cousin, I don't care about what happened last time. Why do my aunt still allow him to continue to harm me?"
"I, I don't." Song Ying said this without confidence.
"My aunt regards my patience as cowardice. Can my aunt bear the price of increasing costs?"
Song Ying's face turned pale when she heard this, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.
Shen Qingyun shook his head when he saw this, "My aunt is the wife that my father is marrying. Although she is not the first wife, she is also the mistress of the Shen family. I asked myself that I have not been in trouble with my aunt. Why is my aunt so serious about taking my life?"
Shen Qingyun looked at Song Ying's belly, "What my aunt is carrying in her belly is my younger brother and sister. If I am really killed by Yang Cong, and my younger brothers and sisters ask about me in the future, will my aunt tell them that my own mother was killed?" Their eldest brother?
It's just a mere crown prince position, I may not take it seriously yet. "
Hearing this, Song Ying raised her head and looked at Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun said expressionlessly: "If it weren't for the sake of my younger brothers and sisters, there would be more than one Yang Cong today.
Auntie, please remember that you are now a member of the Shen family, and you have to plan for the Shen family. We are one family, be it the Song family or the Yang family, they are outsiders. Auntie should not unite with outsiders to murder her own family. "
"I..." Song Ying opened her mouth.
Seeing Song Ying's emotional frustration, Shen Qingyun didn't want to continue to irritate her, so he just said: "Auntie, just take care of yourself, don't think too much about anything else, I will handle it myself.
As for Yang Cong, my aunt must know how to reply to the Yang family. "
